1 Answers
General is a premium brand under Continental Tire, known as General Tire. Founded in 1915 in Milford, South Carolina, USA, General Tire offers a full range of tire products for consumers, including high-performance tires, passenger car tires, and off-road tires. Additionally, General Tire operates the world's largest tire testing facility in Uvalde, Texas, USA. General Tire is a long-established American company that was acquired by the German Continental Group in October 1987, becoming part of the same family as the 'Continental' brand. Despite its heritage, General Tire remains highly innovative, with several groundbreaking technologies in the tire industry, such as Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI), Replacement Tire Monitor (RTM), and Shark Skin Bionic Technology. Automotive tires are one of the most critical components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the suspension system, help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring excellent ride comfort and smoothness. They also maintain strong traction between the wheels and the road, enhance the vehicle's acceleration, braking, and off-road capabilities, and bear the vehicle's weight. The importance of tires in vehicle performance is increasingly recognized.
